Characterization and finite element analysis of polylactic acid/polypropylene carbonate (PLA/PPC) for fixation plate in mandibular surgery /

Polylactic acid (PLA) is commonly used in fixation plate for craniomaxillofacial surgery because it has reasonably good tensile strength, biodegradability, and biocompatibility with the human body. However, PLA has very low toughness which limits its use in the screw and fracture fixation plate whic...
